Depends on your platform. If you go Linux you must, obviously, have
Linux compatible hardware. Same deal for Windows NT/2000/XP, there
is a lot Win9x/ME-only PC hardware out there and you have to be
careful.

The good news is that a PS/2 port is a PS/2 port, a parallel port is
a parallel port, a [UART] serial port is a serial port, ethernet is
ethernet, etc... Unfortunately, things get "hairy" when you start
talking USB.

Most of the Linux and NT (an successor) incompatibilities are
limited to end-user hardware like scanners, printers, multi-function
equipment, etc...
